Geneva auto show cancelled due to coronavirus
(February 28, 2020) The organizers of the Geneva auto show said the event has been canceled after Swiss government banned gatherings of more than 1,000 people because of the coronavirus threat. The Geneva show was due to start on Tuesday with a media day for new product debuts.
"We regret this situation, but the health of all participants is our and our exhibitors' top priority. This is a case of force majeure and a tremendous loss for the manufacturers who have invested massively in their presence in Geneva. However, we are convinced that they will understand this decision," said Maurice Turrettini, chairman of the Foundation Board.
